BREAKING: Sailor swears like a…sailor

The commanding officer of the USS Enterprise, a $4.5 billion dollar aircraft carrier, is in hot water this week as a three-year-old video has emerged of him dropping the f-bomb, filming “chicks in a shower,” repeatedly using anti-gay slurs and simulating a rectal exam, among other transgressions.

Capt. Owen Honors, then the executive officer (XO) of the Enterprise, produced the videos on deployment for display on the ship’s closed-circuit television system — broadcast to nearly 6,000 sailors — as part of “XO Movie Night.”

In a bit of foreshadowing, Honors indicates the video might not be strictly politically correct, prefacing the whole thing by saying, “This evening, all of you bleeding hearts… why don’t just go ahead and hug yourself for the next 20 minutes or so, because there’s a really good chance you’re gonna be offended.”

The videos were leaked to the Virginian Pilot newspaper after Honors, a naval aviator, took command of the carrier.
